Ladies and gentlemen… hold on to your butts.
It’s starting to feel like we’re entering the global melt-up phase.
The core of the Bitcoin thesis is simple: nothing stops this train.
Governments are drowning in debt.
The only way out is to print more money and pay it back with devalued currency.
And in the face of that reality, there’s only one rational move:
convert your hard-earned fiat into scarce assets.
For generations, people turned to stocks and real estate as those scarce assets.
And right now, both are booming.
The S&P 500, the world’s most competitive index, has hit over 40 all-time highs in 2025.
Across the Pacific, Japan’s Nikkei 225 just surged 4% to a new record as incoming Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi promises to weaken the yen and delay rate hikes.
It feels like you're getting rich, until you realize the truth.
These assets aren’t exploding in value.
The dollar is imploding.
The dollar is having its worst year since 1978.
Everything comes down to the denominator.
Since COVID:
• In USD terms, the Nasdaq 100 is up 165%, the S&P 500 up 102%, and U.S. home prices up 56%.
• In gold terms, those shrink to +7%, +18%, and -37%.
• But in Bitcoin terms, the true measuring stick, the Nasdaq is down 78%, the S&P down 84%, and home prices down 87%.
That’s the reality JPMorgan is now calling the Debasement Trade.
Gold has been shining lately, but the real winner is Bitcoin.
If you’re new to Bitcoin, don’t worry, you’re not too late.
Wall Street is just waking up to what early adopters already know.
Bitcoin is the key to maintaining purchasing power as governments debase their currencies.
The tsunami of money printing has only just begun.
Protect yourself.
Protect your family.
With the only financial asset on Earth that is absolutely scarce: Bitcoin.
DEBASEMENT TRADE WINNER: BITCOIN
